#3Holy shit, we live in the future!
I was at work today and decided to buy the new Halo game that comes out in three weeks. Paid in two taps, and was notified that my Xbox at home would be turned on immediately and the game would begin to download. Sure enough I got home and all 65GB had been downloaded.
I paid for a game that will be released in the future and it got to my house before I did. What?

It amazes me that the new Halo game is 65 GB.

As with most applications, it could be a lot smaller. But storage is so cheap and abundant that size is no longer really a constraint. Consequently, engineering for size is no longer a priority.

We're definitely getting close. I wish Apple would take Siri to the next level. It should be easier to make corrections, for example.
I bought Dragon Dictate for my Mac a couple days ago just so I could try to do a little more with voice recognition. It'll be great to be able to program mainly with voice like in this video: http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/using_voice_to_code.html
At the moment, I can simply say "open terminal, begin, rebuild, restart, push, pull, boom (combines pull, rebuild, restart). I'm just using simple shell aliases but I'll probably add shell functions.

WOW, me too... I guess it's been a long time since I regularly played games

4 games would use up the "fair" and "more than enough" bandwidth cap my ISP set :-/
It's either OK internet with caps or vDSL that doesn't really work

#9Wow, what a piece! I am incredibly impressed with the range of responses that Siri has. I wonder just how many questions they've entered responses to. Certainly some stuff can be learned, but responding to requests to marriage is certainly written at some level by a human.
